Fox News: Sebelius says timeline for ObamaCare rollout 'flat out wrong'

Outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says the timeline for the ObamaCare rollout was "flat-out wrong" and that the federal exchange could have used “more time and testing” before going online.

Sebelius, who led the agency through the problem-plagued rollout, made her comments in an interview that aired Sunday on “NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the first interview since she announced her resignation Thursday.

"Clearly, the estimate that it was ready to go Oct. 1 was just flat-out wrong," she said Sunday.

Sebelius also said the roughly first eight weeks of the glitch-filled rollout was the low point of her five years as secretary.

Still, she defended the President Obama's signature law, arguing millions of Americans now have access to health care because of it.

In other words, it's right, but it's wrong.

Still, though she doesn't actually say so, she obviously refers to pressure from the White House to roll out the website and sign-up period, ready or not.

“I think there's no question -- and I've said this many times -- that the launch of the website was terribly flawed and terribly difficult," Sebelius said.

She also said the president setting a Dec. 1 deadline to have the website repaired was a nerve-racking experience.

"Having failed once at the front of October, the first of December became a critical juncture," Sebelius said. "That was a pretty scary date."

She didn't want to stop being a team player so as to outright say, "He screwed it up," but if you read between the lines, you can see she thinks he screwed it up.

Hope she grows some by November so she can actually say the words to the electorate.
